Текст песни Vybz Kartel - Give Thanks

[Intro]
Life so uncertain
Just a gwan work for mi pickney future
Mi nuh kno when a my time but until then
You nuh have no time fi waste

[Chorus]
Oh jah (yea) for my life mi give thanks (mi give thanks) amen
Mi nah give it up so
Jah neva give no jah neva give
Jah neva give man more than can bare

[Hook]
Mi time fi a sit down an a love yo
Life to short hurry up nuh
Mi wah buy a house inna uptown
What a day when di garrison no bruk yo? Hehe

[Verse 1]
Night before last night mi deh a mi grandaddy nynight
A bun a high grade and a really think bout
What is the purpose of life?
Inna my life mi overcome struggle
Inna my life mi wah trouble
Inna my life as a black man mi know it ago hard
But mi wah mek something from nothing

[Chorus]
Jah, jah mi nah stop work hard until mi reach nah the cemetery
Oh jah for my life
For my life mi give thanks (mi give thanks) amen
Mi nah give it up so
Jah neva give no jah neva give
Jah neva give man more than can bare

[Hook]
Mi time fi a sit down an a love yo
Life to short hurry up nuh
Mi wah buy a house inna uptown
What a day when di garrison no bruk yo? Hehe

[Verse 2]
We been through the worst we strive fi be the best
Life so sweet a nuh money bring me happiness
But inna babylon the music fi hold down black people
Cah di lack of it a di root of sadness
And di love of it a root of all evil

[Outro/Hook]
Jah, jah mi nah stop work hard until mi reach nah the cemetery
Oh jah for my life
For my life mi give thanks (mi give thanks) amen
Mi nah give it up so
